Moonrise over I-40

Hickory, NC, December 25.

Advance Tickets

We went to see Star Wars, the movie event of the year (decade?) at the Yancey Theater on Friday of the smash-all-movie-records opening weekend. We thought they might sell out so we went a few hours early and bought advance tickets. This is what they looked like (sitting on the bar at Snap Dragon).

 I do love living here.

Many Menorahs

Hanukkah loveliness (and fun) at Ben and Cedar's. (Click on pictures to see bigger--these are better that way.)

Beth's Woodpile

Annie's sister-in-law Beth built a beautiful beehive woodpile. We illuminated it from within and challenged the stars to a friendly game of "Inspire the Populace."
